UNI soccer ends season in 2-1 semifinal loss to Missouri State

VALPARAISO, Ind. -- The Panthers' postseason run came to an end Thursday afternoon in the semifinals against the Missouri State Bears.

A slow start kept UNI soccer from the final round of the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) Tournament as they outshot the Bears with fewer fouls through 90 minutes. Two first-half goals from Missouri State would keep the Panthers from the win column, even with a goal early in the second half.

UNI struggled to get the offense going in the first half, not getting their first shot until the third minute. The Panthers found themselves down early as the first goal came in the sixth minute for the Bears.
